Biology

Reabsorption at the proximal convoluted tubules (5)

Movement of dissolved substances into blood capillary network reduces concentration dissolved substances in glomerular filtrate but increases concentration of dissolved substances in blood capillaries

Reabsorption at the proximal convoluted tubules (6)

Water enters the blood capillaries through osmosis

Reabsorption at the loop of henle and distal convulated tubules (1)

In the loop of Henle, water is reabsorbed through osmosis

Reabsorption at the loop of henle and distal convulated tubules (2)

Sodium ions are reabsorbed through active transport

Reabsorption at the loop of henle and distal convulated tubules (3)

In distal convoluted tubules, more water, sodium and chloride ions are reabsorbed

Reabsorption at the loop of henle and distal convulated tubules (4)

The amount of water and salts reabsorbed depends on the water and salt content in the bl

Secretion (1)

Secretion is the process of secreting waste materials in the blood that were not filtered earlier into the renal tubules

Secretion (2)

This process is opposite to the process of reabsorption

Secretion (3)

Secretion occurs along the renal tubule and collecting duct, but is most active at the distal convoluted tubule

Secretion (4)

Secretion occurs through simple diffusionand active transport
